Wasabi Storage

In the Wasabi Console, create a bucket and generate an access key/secret key for S3-compatible programmatic access.


Create/select an account

Create a bucket

  • Left nav: "Buckets" → "Create Bucket".
  • Bucket name: globally unique within your Wasabi region.
  • Region: pick the desired region (e.g., us-east-1, eu-central-1). Choose the region closest to your workloads.
  • Click "Create". Bucket appears in the list.

Generate an access key pair

  • Left nav "Access Keys"
  • Click "Create New Access Key".
  • In the dialog, choose:
    • "Root" (full account).
  • Click "Create". You will be shown:
    • Access Key
    • Secret Key
  • Copy or download the key file immediately; the secret is shown only once.

Region

Get region name through Get Region.

For example, Tokyo, Japan is assigned with Region name "ap-northeast-1".

Security and rotation tips

  • Rotate by creating a new key, updating clients, then deleting the old key from "Access Keys".
